The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t
It finds a way to still push on through

Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it, look into
Your heart, the beat goes on

I’m tellin’ you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up

Wondering what is what
